Stone always finds his cases a little bit silly, but it's up for debate whether his motley crew of staff or the criminals for whom he dispenses justice are more bizarre.

I love this show. Wacky and heartfelt, the cast play their parts pitch perfectly. Wether sex crazed Dan or good hearted Bull or even repressed goody two shoes Christine, everyone is just incredibly cast. And Harry is a wise beyond his years, hiding it with youthful childishness. All in the best ways possible.Plus Mac and Roz are played as though they were playing themselves. Everyone did. Great show. One of my all time favorite shows.

Not only was it funny but slick with the sexual content being understood for the adults. I miss the great shows and the back and forth banter awe what ever happened to good t.v?

This show brings back some great memories and stands the test of time. From the days gone by of when sitcoms were actually funny and well written without being overly PC or full of smut.
